Noise, traffic, odors, lighting and other external factors can impact marketability. two cents worth :)

Can anyone offer a way to accelerate the removal of odors?

Once they had the electric turned back on and AC running the original musky moldy odor was much less offensive, but the spores also got spread from the kitchen area to the rest of the house via the central AC system.I end up doing nothing, but it was not an easy decision, and one I came back to from time to time, wondering.

For odors besides Kilz, and shellac, I've used Odorxit.

Here's a related thread that's a few months old; maybe you want to post on there to get an update from the OP as to what worked:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/88945-repair-smoke-damage-soot-and-smoke-odor

They will grumble about increasing rent but most will stay.Hope it helps.

I haven't use it to get rid of any pet odors yet.

Clean carpet 3x, paint, clean ducts AND still have strong odor.

No feces or discoloration or odor was noticeable.Within 72 hours I offered to change the carpet immediately but she didn't want us to enter the unit until she hired a company on her own to evaluate as she claimed there is ecoli probably but the company did the test and ecoli was negative and now they are claiming we do negative air filtration, Remove the affected baseboards, Remove and haul away the drywall / plaster from all the affected areas, 2’-0” high and 2’-0” passed the visible water damaged stained areas, Remove the toe kick from the master bathroom vanity, Use a low pressure rinse with a biocide solution to disinfect the affected areas, Set up dehumidification and air movers to dry the affected areas., Final swab testing is recommended at the end of the cleaning.Once the above has been performed, it will then be oaky to install the new carpet and padding.Am I obligated by law to do all this in addition to the steps I want to take.

The bathroom utilities are 70s color yellow(made with this color), the kitchen appliances are very outdated, it has the faint odor of cat urine, and most of the carpet looks like it was stolen from the Scoobydoo Mystery Machine.
